Hello all,Business is going well, and most of you know me as an investor focused Realtor in Omaha and in the next couple months I have the amazing opportunity to scale that business exponentially as the Acquisitions Director for an amazing Real Estate Company (more info to publish later) but I am actually seeking recommendations for a good real estate tax professional who serves the Omaha area.Basically I am already formed as S Corp but I am forming an LLC (potentially under my S Corp) with myself and the contractors I work hand in hand with to renovate properties with the intent of serving under one "legal" roof when we assist investors in finding and renovating properties for investors and want to make sure we set ourselves up as strong as possible.Any recommendations?

I think even if BP self-published, at huge expense, "THE ULTIMATE VIDEO COURSE TO STARTING IN REAL ESTATE" and stuck it under the LEARN tab, a large number of people would still just automatically click on FORUMS and continue to do what they do now.
